Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a treatment option for gallbladder disease in children.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed safely in two children ages 7 and 15 years. Special considerations were required in the younger child because of the discrepancy between the length of the instruments and the size of the peritoneal cavity. Both children remained in hospital less than 24 hours and were able to resume normal diet and activity quickly. Pediatric surgeons with special training in laparoscopic surgery may want to use this treatment modality for children with biliary tract disease.

Pyloric stenosis associated with malrotation.

Three cases of pyloric stenosis associated with malrotation are presented. In one case, the diagnosis was made synchronously, and in two cases, pyloric stenosis was noted following correction of malrotation. All three patients underwent pyloromyotomy and Ladd's procedure. These cases differ from the few reported hereditary cases of pyloric stenosis associated with malrotation, which have congenitally shortened bowel, functional obstruction, and poor prognosis. The unusual finding of pyloric stenosis and malrotation occurring together in the first patient was diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal series, obtained because of a high index of suspicion despite a palpable pyloric tumor and positive ultrasound examination. The second and third cases illustrate that vomiting following Ladd's procedure may be due to pyloric stenosis. When clinical findings do not support the presumed diagnosis, further investigation prior to operation is recommended so that rare concommitant pathology can be corrected.

[An experimental model of data base organization in glaucoma with computer processing (a preliminary note)].

The authors report on an experimental model of data base set up for glaucoma with possibilities of statistical-mathematical processing. The application is designed for miniprocessors of the INDEPENDENT or CORAL type in FORTRAN 77. The paper presents the level structure of the display, and the ways of using the information under the form of assisted diagnosis and prognosis, according to which the attention is then directed to the rhythm and detailed content of the future examination.
